Late Show with Colt Begley

Well, its after midnight so it's Colt's primetime.  Everynight, he is ready to play and like the Garth Brooks song goes, he doesn't go down till the sun comes up.  Which has put us all on different schedules being that my husband wakes up for work at the same time Colt finally gives it up.  We have tried keeping the environment dark and cool when its sleep time and lighted and warm while awake, but with little improvement. Thankfully, his occupational therapist is going to work with me to help him get back to a normal sleep/wake pattern. Also, I'm very thankful that Roseanne is usually on while we're up :)

Colt started First Steps this week, and those men/women who work as therapists are ANGELS. Saying that they are wonderful with children is an understatement.  While working with his occupational therapist, Colt was grabbing "pegged toys" (they usually link together to make a huge line) and holding onto them for minutes at a time.  To any other parent to a 6 month old, this wouldn't seem like a big deal.. but we are so proud of Colt and all the new things he is learning.  First Steps is a God send for families and children who need them. I'm so glad that Colt has an awesome pediatrician who recognized that Colt would greatly benefit from these therapies.
